Event Description:
Join us for a special presentation by Amanda Hoffsis, Vice President of Planning, Architecture and Real Estate (PARE) for The Ohio State University, to learn about the Carmenton development plan.
Carmenton is bolstered by investment – including nearly $900 million of public and private support to date and more than 350 acres of land re-imagined for development. Ohio State, the city of Columbus and JobsOhio have come together to accelerate collaboration between the public, private and academic sectors in this vibrant new neighborhood that facilitates the exchange of knowledge to help deliver solutions to the market and the world.
In the long term, Carmenton will add residential areas, green spaces, connector trails, restaurants and entertainment venues. It will be a walkable and bikeable neighborhood that will feel like home to the people who work in, live in or visit the district. Already underway, Carmenton’s first phase includes the Energy Advancement and Innovation Center, as well as the Pelotonia Research Center and The James Outpatient Care, all located along Kenny Road.
